when i was driving through france the other week(weird driving on the right side of the road, very weird) i noticed something weird about the clouds infront of me, there was three layers of clouds, nothing unusual there, the top and bottom layers were white and the middle one was grey.

 

this struck me as odd. because all three layers had direct sunlight (it was nearing sunset so the sun as off to the side and they weren't particularly close packed.) yet they appeard different colours. surely if they are all droplets of water then they should be the same colour.

 

i can't figure out what caused the colour in the grey colour but i'm thinking dust.

 

ami i right or talking a load of rubbish?

 

 

P.S. we really need a meteorology subforum

The grey cloud is denser. It has more moisture. It is more likely to cry.

...that would make sense. didn't even think of that line of thought. kind of staring me in the face now i know of it
